This has been my experience too. My PS3 controllers still work fine, aside from a shorter battery life due to age. I used them just a month ago to play through all of the metal gear solid games on PS3.
PS4 controllers, I got one that is showing slight drift, and one that is showing bad drift. But I did use these controllers quite a bit more than the PS3 controllers due to using them on PC, so these were by far my most used controllers.
I've had my PS5 controllers a lil over a year now and already have one showing bad drift, barely used compared to the others.
My DualShock 4 lived a very long time.
I think the mini charging connector broke before the stick drifted.
Now I've had 2x refurbished DS5 from GameStop.
One stick tore off from broken down rubber/material. The other stick drifted real bad, after both extended plans ended too.
Current purple DS5 was new from Best Buy last July.
It started drifting three weeks ago.
I bought the extended plan and they said I can exchange it or use as a store credit towards a different controller (I see the edge joystick module is out of stock everywhere lol).
